TOWN OF MUKWA, WISCONSIN

Highway 54 was closed for a few hours west of New London after a crash involving a school bus.

Authorities say it happened around 7:15 a.m. on Hwy. 54 and Larry Rd. A car rear-ended the bus while the bus was stopped to pick up a student. The driver of the car had to be cut out of the vehicle, and was flown to Theda Clark Medical Center in Neenah with what sheriff’s officials call “serious” injuries.

School district leaders say eight students and a driver were on the bus, which is owned by the New London School District. None of them were hurt. Another bus picked them up and finished the route.

Elementary, middle and high school students were all on the bus.
